I then tried another WPA network and received the same error six times, and then was told

Code:

[+] Associated with xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx (ESSID: yyyyy)

However, after this output Reaver did not do anything else (I waited an hour).

I exited that request and ran it again. The same thing happened. It managed to associate after several failures and then didn't do anything.

I'm not sure I understand the concept of associating with an AP or why this is happening.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thank you.

This is probably more suited for the beginners sub-forum, but whatever.
Read up on how wireless networks and wireless authentication works. Without knowing the basics, you're never going to be able to do what you want to. Or at least, not well.
As for the issue you're getting. I've received the same problem, and I used aireplay-ng to handle the association, which seemed to fix the problem.
Hope that helps!

You can't check if an AP has WPS enabled, on Airodump-ng. You'll have to use "wash -i monX".

Is the AP security set to TKIP?
They seem to be a problem for reaver.

Thank you.

before the reaver try first
wash -i mon0
this will open all the routers that doesn't have WPS lock.
you are using airodump-ng mon0, yes you can see all the routers with in your range and their
BSSID and channels but you can never specify which one doesn't have a WPS lock.
NOTE: we can use only reaver to does routers that doesn't have WPS lock.

thats why,,,
first
wash -i mon0

then
reaver -i mon0 -c (channel) -b (bssid) -vv

if wps is NOT locked, will reaver crack the password 100% of the time?
